TormanoA shift is a block of time when volunteers do a specific job.
Creating a shift
Shifts live on the Schedule tab of the Volunteers page. Click Create a Shift, which is also in the Dashboard tab’s Quick Actions.
Required fields
- Shift Name: what the shift is, such as Morning Food Bank Shift.
- Date, Start Time, and End Time.
Optional fields
- Location: the address, or simply where to meet.
- Max Volunteers: the capacity for the shift.
- Description: what to expect, what to bring.
- Notify admins on signup: choose which staff are told when someone signs up for this shift. See Choose who hears about volunteer sign-ups.
Assigning volunteers and capacity
Assign volunteers to a shift and it shows how many places are filled against its capacity. A shift can also be attached to an Event, so the roles for that day sit with it.
Public sign-up
Public sign-up happens through Volunteer Opportunities, its own tab on the Volunteers page. Publish an opportunity and anyone can sign up without an account, and Tormano creates or matches a contact for each person.
